20 Thoughts On Being 20

20. The big 2-0. It's not quite 18, and not quite 21. It's that weird in-between age. But it's the "no longer a teenager" age. Here are some thoughts as I (finally) turn 20.

1. I'm no longer an ~angsty teen~.

Means I can no longer use that as my excuse for being emotional.

2. Does that mean I'm old?

3. Do I have to be a grown up yet?

I'm not ready for real responsibilities.

4. I've lived two whole decades.

5. Do I even look 20?

I don't look like the 20-year-olds in movies.

6. Can I still call mom whenever I have the tiniest of issues?

7. Do I have to stop sleeping with a pillow pet?

8. People my age have children...and husbands. I don't need to do that yet... right?

9. Can I still sleep in until noon?

I just can't stop binge watching Grey's.

10. Is it still okay to have mac and cheese at 2am?

11. I need to get a real job soon.

12. Can I still get chicken nuggets out at a restaurant?

Kid's menu forever.

13. The whole "what do you want to be when you grow up" thing is now a reality.

14. I guess I lost my chance to be an Olympic gymnast at this point.

I just want to be part of the Final 5.

15. Do I have to get my own insurance?

16. If I'm 20 that means all of my younger cousins are old too.

17. Should I learn how to cook real things?

Mac and cheese out of the box doesn't count anymore.

18. I'm graduating college...like soon.

I don't ever want it to end.

19. I don't want to be a real person.

20. Well, one more year until I'm 21.

About time.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
